  4. Place the filling in the center of the sheet leaving space on the top, bottom and sides of the sheet. Fold the top on the sheet, then the strips alternating on each side creating an overlapping braided pattern.
  5. Brush the strudel with egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Recipe Notes

VEGETARIANS : Sauté green peppers instead of eggs.
Instead of egg wash use milk to brush the top of the strudel.
